This paper shows tirzepatide reduces atherosclerosis independently of weight loss by directly targeting vascular inflammation through the cAMP/PKA/eNOS pathway.

This study identifies desert hedgehog (DHH) as a resilience factor that prevents atherosclerosis by inhibiting PAI-1 signaling and endothelial mesenchymal transition.

The paper creates a single-cell transcriptome atlas of human subcutaneous adipose tissue vascular cells, identifies sub-AdECs, and links their properties to metabolic disease.

Endothelial Twist1 drives partial and advanced endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition via PELP1 and AEBP1-COL4A1 signaling, increasing collagen and ACTA2+ cells to stabilize atherosclerotic plaques in male mice and human carotid arteries.

This study shows that endothelial MICU1 prevents vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis by maintaining mitochondrial calcium homeostasis and reducing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species.

This study shows neutrophil microvesicles cause endothelial dysfunction and platelet adhesion, contributing to atherosclerotic plaque erosion and linking LDL cholesterol to microvesicle production.

This study quantifies how absent blood flow affects vascular development in zebrafish cerebral and trunk vasculature, finding more severe effects in the brain.

This study identifies ANKHD1 as a driver of ADPKD by promoting proliferation and fibrosis, showing its inhibition could be therapeutically beneficial.
